1930s Snead Willis Style 3 Shallow Water Diving Helmet
This specific helmet is the 3rd style of helmet Willis would produce. Made of solid cast iron the helmets weighs approximately 65 pounds. A large curved window on the front allows the diver a good field of vision. The design of the helmet is simplistic and allow for use by almost everyone. A simple air hose fitting located at the upper back of the helmet is the extent of its mechanical function. Once the user enters the water, the buoyancy allows the helmet to rest comfortably on the shoulders while excess air exits around the lower edges. If in the event of an emergency, the user simply leans forward, allow the helmet to fall off and the diver then goes to the surface. A simple and effective design.
The helmet is in good condition with no issues to the cast iron body. The old curved plastic window is gone. The cast iron has developed a wonderful patina over the years giving it a clear dark appearance. . Many people enjoy restoring these helmets as they are fairly simple to work on and test.   I FOUND A SELL OF THIS HELMET IN ENGLAND SOLD FOR OVER 4000 ENGILISH MONEY WHICH IS OVER 5000 AMERICAN ,
